If Acrotechers recieved

[XDeathX]

The right to use longbows, how would you react?

What about crossbow?

[Rashiid]

I'd demand a rollback.

Longbows go against an AT's mobility.

Crossbows would be stepping into Fighgunner territory.

I like the classes exactly the way they are. Leave my acrotecher alone! They have twin pistols. Wah wah wah, crossbows, wah wah wah, rifles, wah wah wah double sabers. The classes are decently balanced atm except for the whole S rank hand gun being Guntecher only. Blows my mind.
Anyway to answer the OP, I'd be mad.

As previously stated, ONE-handed specialist. All Acro's weapons can be held in ONE hand. Sure they use weapons that take a whole palette space, but if you notice they all still one-handed. Not one weapon is a single weapon that requires two hands to use.
Thus, one hand holds bow in place, other hand pulls the ... imaginary string to fire the bullet? <_>

[DoubleJG]

Doesn't seem necessary at all.

Bows would be fun, but leave the bows in the hands of FT and GT. Crossbows... nah -_-

[JAFO22000]

Wouldn't bring much of a reaction from me. It's already an unbalanced class.

Adding rocks to the pockets of the fat kid on one side of a see-saw won't affect the skinny kid in the air on the other side....

how about giving AT lvl 40 attack techs? That would be fun =D

No, it wouldn't.

My Acrotecher's fine the way it is.

Acrotecher is a support class. Anything dealing with offense is secondary and beyond. If anything, we need faster leveling on buffs and healing, and that's all.

Give fortetecher a 2x PA leveling rate for techs. See how popular AT is then... Er... no, dont.

With the whole one handed argument, no bows for AT.

But I see nothing wrong with crossbows (one handed shooting weapon) and handing out SE's is a part of "support." In that sense the Crossbow makes more sense than the handgun.

But they don't need them. It'd just be a small addition.

End result: No Longbow, Yea Crossbow.

CROSSBOWS are GUNTECHER property. Level 3 status with 3 bolts and strafe ability allows free use of a TECH healing wand. Back before easy mode a Guntecher and Fortegunner were almost absolutely needed to land those level 4 status on jarba and keg nodd. With reduced Stamina a FIGUNNER can do crossbow level 3 status inducing with higher melee based ATP =/

Why would an AcroTecher cast techs that cannot do status effects as fast as a gun? They would just use a Crossbow and pair it with an upgraded speed wand or speed S rank knife or saber or whip =/

Think about it - a Crossbow level 3 strafe status wide shot strafing with a level 4 Status inducing 21+ hitting WHIP with good enough ATP and melee speed up???

Acrotechers already get Machine guns and Dual pistols and Cards - along with the superior ability to cast super fast TECHS blows Guntecher away in that aspect.

AT do NOT need Crossbows.
Or the melee speed up they already have TECH Speed up.

Fortetecher is offensive. Acrotecher is support. People don't seem to realize it... all that Acrotecher does in damage is supposed to be secondary to all classes.

It's not a 'if you want to cast techs fast and you don't mind not using rods, use Acrotecher' thing, it's a 'if you don't mind not doing damage at all and regulating buffs, debuffs and heals, go Acrotecher, but if you still want to cast offensive techs, grab a Har / Quick and go Fortetecher.'

There's also Guntecher and Wartecher, who can equip items that the fT and AT can't. See if you enjoy those. Make sure you actually use support techs because they too are the first-hand support techers too in the absence of an AT.

There's a reason why fT gets level 40 Techs and reason why AT gets level 40 SUPPORT Techs.

I would LOVE a bow however they specialize in ONE HANDED WEAPONS so yeah once you learn to use a bow with your feet ask this question again however I wouldn't mind if they made the dual wield weapons s rank.

[Phetty]

No thanks on the Crossbow. But the bow however makes sense as all Techer jobs have had access to at least A Rank.
